Loaded Buffalo Chicken Baked Potato Fries

Happy Independence Day weekend!!

Break out the sparklers! After the patriotism and fireworks to celebrate our country’s independence, July 4th is all about the food.

You know it’s true. Patriotic holidays = overeating at its finest.

Firing up the grill, throwing on tons of juicy burgers, hot dogs & brats, steaks, ribs, and corn on the cob. Eating watermelon by the pound. Bowls of mayo-based salads as far as the eye can see.

Considering that french fries pair so well with all of the above food, I feel like they don’t get their proper due on the Fourth.

We could change (as a nation!) that with these Loaded Buffalo Chicken Baked Potato Fries!

Steak and Sweet Pepper Salad

June 15, 2015 By Erin Skinner Leave a Comment

Summertime salads are delicious, especially when they call for fresh vegetables. This salad uses fresh spinach, sweet peppers, cucumber, red onion and steak, then is topped with a simple mustard vinaigrette! What’s not to love?

Grilled meat lovers, listen up.

Yes, I realize that’s maybe a strange statement to make, especially when I’m clearly writing a post about salad, but I think this is something you need to hear. Especially if you’re like my family.

You following me now? Mmmkay.

If you’re anything like my family, chances are you sometimes have leftover steak after a night of grilling. And if you’re anything like us, you’re unsure what to do with said leftover steak.

You don’t want to toss it, but you don’t necessarily want to have steak and eggs every morning after grilling, especially if your steak was already cooked through a little too much. (Yeah, that totally happens. Please tell me it’s not just us.)

Chunky Fruit Salsa

Happy summer, folks!!

Don’t argue, because it is soooooo summer right now.

I don’t even care if it’s actually still two weeks away, Florida got the memo early, as usual.

We even had an out-of-season tropical system brewing a few weeks ago! I mean, really.

Go home, Mother Nature, you’re drunk.

When I think of summer, I think of sun-hats, cold beer, lazy afternoons by the pool, and all-day picnics by the grill with lots of snacks to keep your tummy full until dinner is ready. I don’t know about you, but I can imagine a big bowl of this Chunky Fruit Salsa right in the middle of everything! [Read more…]

Tomato & Eggs Florentine with Homemade Hollandaise Sauce

Eggs Benedict.

Just the thought of that delicious breakfasty food makes my mouth water, and gets me daydreaming about my next morning off.

It’s such a simple meal, but it’s so buttery and eggy and creamy and wonderful!

Not to mention versatile. I whipped up this Tomato & Eggs Florentine with Homemade Hollandaise Sauce on a whim a few weeks ago. We were sadly out of any sort of ham or bacon for me to use to make the original, but I had some big juicy tomatoes and fresh baby spinach that were willing to do their part to make our breakfast satisfying.
